4.2.6.4.8Roaming Option (SU only)
The Roaming Option defines the roaming support of the unit. When roaming is not expected, it is preferable to set this parameter to Disable. This will cause the unit to start scanning for another AU after losing connectivity with the current AU only after 7 seconds during which no beacons were received from the current AU. This will prevent scanning for another AU in cases where no beacons were received due to a short temporary problem.
When set to Enable, the SU will wait only one second before it starts scanning for another AU. In addition, when the Roaming Option is enabled, the SU will send Roaming SNAP messages upon associating with a new AU. This enables fast distribution of the new location for all clients that are behind the SU. In this case, the SU will send multicast SNAP messages via the wireless link each time it associates with a new AU, except for the first association after reset. The SU will send one SNAP message for each client learned on its Ethernet port, based on its bridging table. In the SNAP message the clients’ MAC address is used as the source address. The AU that receives this SNAP message learns from it the new location of the clients. It forwards the SNAP to other AUs and
The default is Disable.
